UP CM Akhilesh Yadav seems to think that a ride on his campaign plane was a favour to journalists which deserved a quid pro quo. At his Friday presser he said that an English TV channel dropped their interview with him on the plane because their marketing dept. didn't like it. He had its journalist's SMS as evidence. English didn't mean much to his constituency but he had obliged as there were people around the world who cared for socialism he said, adding that he had several SMSs from journalists about their compulsions regarding managements which he can make public.
